Don't Weep for Me -- by Anthony Amey
Don’t weep for me now I am gone for I will be OK
It’s you who has to carry on and face another day
Of making do, and getting by, and dealing with ill health
Even those with money when all they have is wealth
I am in a better place, I’m free of care and pain
If you could see me you would know how I can live again
I’m closer to my father now and all who went ahead
I can no longer laugh with you but laugh with them instead
Don’t weep for me but celebrate my ultimate relief
Of all that troubled me on earth and don’t dwell on your grief
Of course it’s sad to miss the things and times we used to share
But they’re all banked within our hearts and we’ll enjoy them there
Don’t think that this mere parting will keep us far apart
I promise I’ll watch over you and try to guide your heart
As you fulfil your destiny, the path you have to run
Mine is merely history now that all is said and done
Don’t weep too long, if tears must fall then let them come and go
Continue being who you are, you do so well you know
I’m so very proud of who you are and who you will become
Your story’s far from over yet despite all you have done
Let me go - yet stay by you - through all you have to face
All is well. I promise you, we’re in our rightful place.
So no regrets on either side as we fit to our new roles
Your place is with the living, mine now with spirit souls
And some here were not blessed like me with love such as we shared
They’ve brought with them some baggage that now must be repaired
It’s our job here to comfort them and help their spirits mend
For some this isn’t just relief but brings their first real friend
So now just take my love and thanks for more than I deserve
Enrichment of my lasting soul and comfort there on earth
Our bodies die but love survives across these planes of being
You‘ll make me want to weep for you if that’s not what you’re seeing
It’s you who has to carry on and face another day
Of making do, and getting by, and dealing with ill health
Even those with money when all they have is wealth
I am in a better place, I’m free of care and pain
If you could see me you would know how I can live again
I’m closer to my father now and all who went ahead
I can no longer laugh with you but laugh with them instead
Don’t weep for me but celebrate my ultimate relief
Of all that troubled me on earth and don’t dwell on your grief
Of course it’s sad to miss the things and times we used to share
But they’re all banked within our hearts and we’ll enjoy them there
Don’t think that this mere parting will keep us far apart
I promise I’ll watch over you and try to guide your heart
As you fulfil your destiny, the path you have to run
Mine is merely history now that all is said and done
Don’t weep too long, if tears must fall then let them come and go
